Translators Comments in Green

22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded
the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. (KJV)

22) Then Saul was rather more in strength and power,

and poured together / excited and confounded as a group

(or multitude) the Jews,

(those) living and residing in permanent dwelling places

in Damascus,

uplifting and uniting / bringing together

[Scriptural proofs]

that this One,

He is the Christ - He is the Messiah.

(AWPR)

23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took
counsel to kill him: (KJV)

23) Just as then were fulfilled - completed - accomplished

sufficient enough days,

the Jews took advice of consul together - plotted together

to take up and slay him. [to murder Saul]

(AWPR)

24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they
watched the gates day and night to kill him. (KJV)

24) Then was known (from others)

[whether told someone freely or known only by inquiry]

to Saul the willful purpose and scheme upon (Saul)

of them.

(AWPR)

25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by
the wall in a basket. (KJV)

25) Then the Disciples - learners - pupils by night,

sent him down - emitted him down

(of a sudden, in haste)

through the

[city of Damascus' defensive] wall,

loosing (him) - letting (him) down

[by use of more than one rope, as the lines of a

ship's mast are multiple]

in a corded - coiled or rope basket

[the size being large enough to hold 400-600 servings of

dense barley or wheat bread loaves, perhaps as large as

ca. 10-16 oz. each].

(AWPR)

26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join
himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not
that he was a disciple. (KJV)

26) Then Saul, approaching and arriving into Jerusalem,

he tested and tried to

glue - cohere - join (himself) to the

Disciples - pupils - learners,

but all feared and were terrified of him

(so as to run away),

not trusting - believing that he is a

disciple - pupil - learner (also).

(AWPR)

27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles,
and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had
spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. (KJV)

27) Then Barnabas (by the hand), upon taking hold of him,

brought (Saul forcefully) along

up to and alongside with the Apostles,

and took the lead in narrating a recounting to the end

to them how - in what manner or way

in the way - road - highway

he (Saul) beheld (and became acquainted with) the LORD;

and that He spoke at random to him,

and how - in what manner or way

in Damascus,

he spoke boldly and freely in all of his speaking

in the Name of Jesus - in the Name of Yeshua.

(AWPR)

28 And he was with them coming in and going out at
Jerusalem. (KJV)

28) And he was in the midst of / amongst them,

going and entering in,

and coming forth - proceeding out,

in Jerusalem,

and speaking boldly and freely in all his speaking

in the Name of the LORD Jesus - in the Name

of YHVeH Yeshua.

(AWPR)

29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and
disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. (KJV)

29) And he spoke at random and inquired together / disputed and reasoned while seeking together up alongside with the Hellenists - the Grecians: then they upon (the) hand with the hand took him to take up - slay - murder him. (AWPR)

30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to
Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. (KJV)

30) Then the brothers led - carried - brought him down into Caesarea, and sent him away forth out into Tarsus. (AWPR)

[Note: The activity of a public act of banishment appears suggest that this is the first time Paul was either whipped or beaten with rods for the Name of Jesus among the Greek speakers, also the same as the Name of Yeshua among the Hebrew speakers.

Of his hardships, Saul as Paul in 2 Corinthians 11:24-25 states:

24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

25 Thrice was I beaten with rods ....

This was one of the occasions when Saul (who later renames himself Paul) is either whipped the 39 stripes (26 to the back, 13 to the chest) or is beaten with rods. It is uncertain as to which he received, but I personally believe based on the text of banishment and the likelihood that being "carried" away rather than simply "led" away is implied, it clearly was either a whipping or the rods taken to him. -- Brianroy]

31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and
Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and
in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied. (KJV)

31) Indeed (as a consequence), the Churches - the Called Out Ones down in the Judea and Galilee and Samaria had - held - possessed (and continued to have - hold and possess) Peace [good health, prosperity, safety, and peace of every good kind],

being rebuilt and built up as established and confirmed, and running and piercing through while transporting or traveling from one place to another [Suggests the safe transportation and sales of goods. Most Christians were farmers, and merchants at the start. The Gospel is fairly limited to the regions of Judea to Syria to Lebanon, and sporadic places beyond at this point. 100 plus years later, in the Second Century, the three largest Christian occupations would be Farmers, Sailors, Soldiers. But by then, the Gospel had reached the entirety of the Roman Empire and many parts far beyond. ]

in the reverential fear and respect of the LORD, and in that called to the side helpful admonition or comforting encouragement of the Holy Spirit, (which) multiplied into a great many - [grew the Churches into]a multitude. (AWPR)

32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all
quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. (KJV)

32) Then it came into being, Peter, coming and passing through throughout all, descended down [from Jerusalem] also up to and alongside with the saints - holy ones, those inhabiting Lydda in permanent fixed dwelling places. (AWPR)

33 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had
kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy. (KJV)

33) Then he found by search and inquiry a certain man, Aeneas by name, out of 8 years lying down upon a [thin portable roll-up] mattress [or thick quilt for a bed],who was loosened with paralysis - who was paralyzed. (AWPR)

[Note: the bed was already rolled or spread out, and he was lying upon it. The implication of Peter was for him to rise and prepare a supper and spread forth a meal. ]

35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned
to the Lord. (KJV)

35) And all those inhabiting Lydda and (the plain of) Sharon in fixed permanent dwelling places saw and beheld him, (that is) anyone who turned about upon and onto [converted back to]upon the LORD - upon YHVeH. (AWPR)

36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha,
which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and
almsdeeds which she did. (KJV)

36) Then in Joppa, a certain one was a Disciple - Pupil - Learner, by name, Tabitha, which being through interpretation is laid down before as 'Gazelle.' She was filled - complete - abundant of good, benevolent, profitable, and useful work performances; and of mercies - compassions - actions of pity which she performed - brought about - did. (AWPR)

37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and
died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. (KJV)

37) Then it came into being - it came to pass in those days, having infirmed / having become without strength (through sickness), she died off (a natural death). Then having washed the whole body, they put - set - placed her in an upper chamber room.(AWPR)

38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the
disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring
him that he would not delay to come to them. (KJV)

38) Then Lydda, being close - near to Joppa, the Disciples - pupils - learners having listened intently and heard that Peter is in it, [in Joppa]they sent forth out 2 men up alongside next to him, calling to the side, asking him to help - aid - comfort; perhaps not to be slow - procrastinating - late, to go and pass through until to them. (AWPR)

39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come,
they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him
weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was
with them. (KJV)

39) Then rising up, Peter went together with them, whom publicly coming at, they led upward into the upper chamber room; and all the widows stood near and before him weeping - wailing - grieving, and showing over - displaying - exhibiting inner upper garments / tunics and garments [of all types other than tunics], as much as 'Gazelle' made - produced - brought forth, being in the midst of - amongst them. (AWPR)

40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and
prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her
eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. (KJV)

And turning about upon and onto, up alongside with the body, he said, 'Tabitha. Arise.'

Then she opened again the eyes of her, and seeing and perceiving Peter, she sat up. (AWPR)

41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he
had called the saints and widows, presented her alive. (KJV)

41) Then of his own good will and accord, giving her a hand, he raised her to stand up again.

Then, with a loud voice calling the saints - holy ones and the widows, he placed - stood her near him, and presented her living. (AWPR)

42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed
in the Lord. (KJV)

42) Then it became known down in all Joppa, and many trusted - believed upon the LORD. (AWPR)

43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa
with one Simon a tanner. (KJV)

43) Then it came to be (that) he remained and dwelt in Joppa with Simon, a tanner, a sufficient many days.(AWPR)

U.S. Natural Born Citizen Defined

To be a United States Natural Born Citizen, he (or she) must be one of sole nationality, so that were he (or she) ever stripped of citizenship in the United States, he (or she) would be declared as “Stateless”.
Neither parent may be of foreign citizenship, and the child must be born 100% within United States jurisdiction and 100% a U.S. Citizen with NO FOREIGN CITIZENSHIP (NOR A CLAIM OF SUCH IN ANY WAY) AT BIRTH.
Anyone acquiring or possessing ANY FOREIGN CITIZENSHIP AT BIRTH IS NOT A UNITED STATES NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.
